Seafloor classification using acoustic remote sensing techniques is an attractive approach
due to its high-coverage capabilities and limited costs. The multi-beam echo-sounder …

The calibration of multibeam echosounders for backscatter measurements can be
conducted efficiently and accurately using data from surveys over a reference natural area …

The sediment backscatter strength measured by multibeam echosounders is a key feature
for seafloor mapping either qualitative (image mosaics) or quantitative (extraction of …

Acoustic remote sensing techniques for mapping sediment properties are of interest due to
their low costs and high coverage. Model-based approaches directly couple the acoustic …

This contribution investigates the behavior of two important riverbed sediment classifiers,
derived from multi-beam echo-sounder (MBES)—operating at 300 kHz—data, in very coarse …

This contribution presents sediment classification results derived from different sources of
data collected at the Dordtse Kil river, the Netherlands. The first source is a multi-beam echo …

Seafloor classification using acoustic remote sensing techniques is an attractive approach
due to its high coverage capabilities and limited costs compared to taking samples of the …

Freshwater management is increasingly becoming more and more critical to human well-
being and sustainable socio-economic development. Due to siltation, reservoir storage …

Measurements of absolute sound pressure levels have generally been limited to single
beam systems. There is, however, a growing demand for combining seabed classification …

An algorithm for the determination of seafloor geo-acoustic properties critical to high
frequency sonar performance is presented in this paper together with experimental results …
